DROWNING

As pools open back up, remember to be careful.

I grew up on the water, and it's hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that not everybody is familiar with being underwater. This kind of heads-up is essential.

Something very dangerous had happened to me. When I was 12 years old and learning to swim in a pool, I started to go deep. Although the pool was 6 meters deep, I risked it and went with my sister who was 17 years older than me. As I was swimming I took a dive and when I came up to the surface someone had closed her window. I, struggling at the bottom to hold my breath after 1 minute, suffocated losing my senses. After what my sister told me as the two of us were she pulled me out of the water without a pulse or breathing. He did chest compressions along with CPR to help. I came back to life at least 4 minutes later spitting out the water I drank from my mouth and breathing through my nose. After I regained consciousness I saw my sister crying telling me. I thought I lost you. She had me in her arms for quite some time. And from that incident until now she has protected me beyond measure and I appreciate it beyond imagination because thanks to her I am alive now. My only mystery is who then closed the protective cover on the glass on the surface of the pool. I never found out.

The "do not wait until it is too late" gave me the chills

When u are drowning. Take off all major accessories that’ll way you down- make her u take off shoes if y have them on. If they are tied stay calm. Then go completely relaxed DO NOT PANIC if you try to keep your head above water and/or splash a lot - it won’t keep u afloat. You want to relax and float above water, let your body relax and float up. Regain your strength before swimming again.

Thank you for raising awareness! This could help many people, especially children.

I almost drowned as a child in the deep swimming pool. I remember fighting for my life, swinging all my arms and legs everywhere, while faintly hearing the voice of my aunt from outside, going "Nooo, no, don't worry. She's That's how I learned to swim!" :) I did. Guess I was lucky. :/

Bro acted as if all her really light items dragged her down to the pool 💀

Once I was at a puplic pool in Germany I was around 12 feet down and i was 11 i couldn't swim yet and I went into the 3 feet pool and I struggled to stay above water but I did it and I showed my brother so my brother said it was a good idea to go into the 12 feet pool and I struggled a lot I was comjng down and down until I couldn't move anymore but my brother didn't help me so I decided to open my eyes "which I haven't learned doing yet" and looked at the edges of the pool and I started moving there until I made it

If i get drowning, i'm just calm myself down and let my body float. No need to be stupid at it, very relaxing

I remember when I was 5 I fall to a deep pool but I was shocked how I'm still holding my breath for 30 mins and someone found me I don't know before I got to the pool I prayed to God and it saved my life

So one time I was at a public pool with my cousins, I was really young back then so I couldn’t go in the 5 foot deep end, but my cousin could. I kinda just watched her in the water but I didn’t get in because I couldn’t swim plus it was too deep. She kept telling me I should get in and I’ll be fine, but I kept refusing. Then she thought it was a good idea to PULL me into the pool. I started to drown and I struggled to stay above water, I really thought I was going to die. Until I grabbed ahold the edge of the pool to stay above water and dragged myself out gasping for air. But the sad thing was everybody around me just stared at me and didn’t help. There wasn’t even a lifeguard..
Anyways sorry for the long essay, have a good day.
